Any chance the Indonesian government can do us all a favour and indefinately detain these dimwits in Indo?

Unpardonable behaviour.

All that smiling. And ripping . And laughter.

Who do these people think they are to behave like that in Indonesia.

Especially the fella that says " Its not about poontang, it's about Bintang ."

Oh wait a minute, he IS Indonesian.

"....surfing is all about fun at the end of the day..."

couldn't agree more, but just ask the guys that get burnt by the dimwits using pwcs everytime the goldy's point light up.

Hey Norchock, why is it relevant if people were there or not?
I care how these clowns behave because it all effects how the rest of us get treated when we travel.
Selfish grubs.......

Norchock yourself must be nearly or mid forty...? who yourself started surfing in the 80's!
Quote " Have a whinge u old cunts..."
Ummmmm?

So swearing with every post I've read of yours must be a common construction site workers ethic, CFMEU/BLF thing going on..? Maybe downgrade your posts a little and have some respect amongst fellow posters:)
English language without swearing whilst writing, goes along way.

Cant speak for you andy but frequented indo over 20 years,all areas..give respect to culture ppl always..theres a difference between a yobbo in kuta and those traveling around seeing the real indo...so 20 years ago I saw aussie idiots on the piss going there soon again im not worried that the hueys may have given us aussies a bad rep..and besides keramas got fucked the day they started building that place...luke egan?

Don't worry Norchock, I was in Kuta 25 years ago and the antics of my fellow country-men horrified me. I now see similar behaviour in Java and Sumatra which is probably part of the reason (along with the Australian goverment's foreign policy) why westerners get stones thrown at them in some small Sumatran villages.
Call me a sentimental softie but I care about the direction Australia is headed - I dream of the day the average "sick cunt" Australian bloke emerges from his cave and begins to walk upright.

You do realise that Australia was waaaaay more bogan in The Good Old Days that you eulogise .

Australia is blessed with a relaxed social attitude. Enjoy it.

Hey I understand your point . travel solo or with mates that can behave themselves,theres a time and place to be a unit and I know,got into abit of trouble in younger years courts etc.but what can you do about fellow yobbos abroad?just make yourself look better than that.i go there to surf these days and the missus keeps things tame.

Remember, issues with the Mad Hueys and their like extend to behaviour at home too - that's obviously the root of the issue.

that little pool party etc. looks like a bit of a dud to me for a large event in bali. rent a crowd usually turn up without even paying them...if things aren't too exclusive

i have to ask why is swellnet pushing these knobs so hard if there is no friend or favour happening? you are just encouraging them.

unless there is money or favour why would you canstantly write "komune bali pro presented by mad hueys"? komune bali pro is plenty of information unless you're pushing an agenda

someone must have got an invite

It was sponsored by the Mad Hueys.

I honestly can't see any drama worth mentioning.

So a few crew drank some beers ?

Hardly the stuff of national shame, let alone any justification for the unconnected capital punishment of criminals by the Indonesian government.

As for selfish - I notice that four of the quarter finalists were Indonesian along side many Indo competitors that received prize money and exposure to enhance career opportunities.

Cash to feed families and opportunities supplied by the Mad Hueys amongst others.

To the naysayers ....How much cash are you giving to Indonesians for surfing well ?

And who is it that says the Indos don't like these fellas ? It's their home, not yours so why not let them make the judgement calls ?

I reckon that these fellas would know more Indonesians than the uptight corrections officers patrolling this site.

Live your life and let others lead theirs....

I'll be happy to let others lead their life when they're not towing into crowded 5 foot waves on the Goldie (or anywhere else) and generally being yob pricks.

Blowin Tuesday, 5 May 2015 at 8:35pm

Towing on the Goldy I wholeheartedly agree with, but you don't want others getting on with their lives if they're drinking beers in a pool in Bali ?

You do realise that's all that is going on in this video don't you ?

You didn't get your missus stolen by Brett Dorrington did you ? You seem awfully upset about them.

Glad we're in agreement about the towing.
I don't know Brett Dorrington but my "missus" is way too ugly for him to worry about.

If you think your missus is too ugly then you're right , you don't know Brent Dorrington .

geez that was quick, thx stunet.

without having to go into detail, so do you get money for forcasting? or is it a mutual promotion thing?

i have the same issue with the samsung galaxy pro wsl thing. if i ran a website id just drop all that name dropping stuff, aside from sounding incredibly crass, its a moutful. or is there some obligation to pump the products?

Just mutual promo, and Craig got shored up in the Komune compound for a few days while working there.

I consider it editor's choice whether comps cop the full moniker, but as we had commerical interest I ran with the mouthful.

fair enough, still dont understand why you'd go with the samsung galaxy mouthful, just because it sounds shit.

can we get a photo of craig drinking bintang in the pool?

just a suggestion

Right, so you had discussions with Clif and Silicun about Swellnet being complicit in the longevity of the Mad Hueys.

no, complicit is the word i learnt this week from discussions with cliff and sillicun.

while im cautious to use new words, in this context, it seems appropriate, as in the last part of your sentence

stunet's picture
stunet's picture
stunet Wednesday, 6 May 2015 at 3:31pm

Understood. So then as you're a regular commenter on Swellnet, who sell ad space based on traffic, you are also in turn COMPLICIT of the Mad Hueys longevity.

Granted not to the same extent but to someone of pure white integrity, such as yourself, this presents a troubling development.

perhaps, but i think you are drawing a lomg bow there stunet, as i use your platform to question some seriously questionable behaviour where you are supporting them.

i dont know if I'm young and idealistic or old and stubborn, but im not going to put a 'joh for pm'sticker on my car unless i believe in him. you putting a mad hueys sticker on your website says to me you approve of their attitudes and actions. or you will sell your integrity to the highest bidder.

things aren't that tight at swellnet...surely

Seriously questionable behaviour? A tad melodramatic, no?

We ran a few vids and press releases for a contest. How does this even register as an issue in your life, leave alone a 'serious' issue?

well i said the vids were harmless, but their behaviour in oz re dropping in and jetskis and their general attitude is not cool.

by promoting them, you are validating them. i think a website that trys to have a social conscience, like yours, would do better to question their behavour rather than be swept up in the celebrity of the situation.

I've actually got no issue with their behaviour in these vids anf think people are being a little picky.

but their behaviour in oz is a different issue

dont mind a bit of promotion , swellnet is a business after all but you seem to be pushing these guys hard

Yeah the contest looked harmless and Keramas (how good is that wave) has been overcrowded for a long while (like the rest of Bali) however as you have said elsewhere Blowin I reckon these guys would be real nobs at your local beach all... yeah mate, fuck yeah, sick mate, fuck mate... ahh I think there is four words they know, and I bet they hassle the crap out of every and anybody. Hope I am wrong.

I went to the comp last year, no swearing, nothing over the top, the MH comp announcer actually spoke in Indo & English as to who had priority ect. The local and visting Indo's seemed to really appreciate what they were doing. I took some non-surfing friends to the comp & they really enjoyed there dialogue and were impressed with the whole set-up.

The Mad Hueys contest hey looks like a bunch of mates enjoying a surf trip together mixing it with the Indo surfers and getting paid to do so. The rest of us bums have to work full time jobs and only dream of travelling and surfing the destinations they do.

Travel and go surfing, fishing and drink a few beers for a job where do I sign up??

I've seen doctors drink beers in a pool, laughing and shouting loudly. In protest I'm going to drink in my pool this week...except in my steamer cause I aint in Bali

Why all the angst? - At least they are crew having a go by starting a company which seems moderately successful. The side issue that they seem to be enjoying only seems to rile some punters more. Good on them for starting a company and actively engaging in the economy. Any business being successful within reason deserves respect not ridicule. Are there some well known ridiculers here living off social welfare and contributing zip. True or false!
